The sky was white, and the night faded away, revealing the ruined river bridge, and the fire in the town had been extinguished, and the unburned wood was still smoky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a night of fierce fighting, the replenishment regiment lost most of its losses, and many did not survive until dawn, turning into cold and stiff corpses.

This is a cruel and sad era, when the soldiers eat food, many people die in a strange foreign land, lying in this cold and damp Jiangnan forever, they can't even get a straw mat to wrap the corpse when they die, they can only hastily dig a pit and bury it.

Li Tiezhu and more than a dozen people are digging a pit under a big locust tree, rows of corpses are neatly placed next to them, these sacrificed people are lucky, at least they can still enter the ground for peace, but more people can only be violent corpses in the wilderness, they shed the last drop of blood for this country, but they can only end their lives in such a hurry, and their names are not left.

Yang Ling saw these piled up corpses, and inexplicably thought of a sentence, poor and uncertain riverside bones, especially the people in the spring boudoir dream, how similar these sacrificed soldiers are to them, they died here in the war for the country, and what was left to their families was eternal anticipation and longing.

Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, sat on the steps and watched Li Tiezhu dig a pit and carry the corpses into the pit, and there was a raised grave among the broken ruins, and he sighed weakly.

People can't be resurrected after death, and this is a cruel battlefield, everyone's fate is unknown, maybe they can live to leave the battlefield, or the next moment they will be killed by a stray bullet flying from nowhere.

When the day was about to dawn, people from the division headquarters came, and they did not bring foster care and ammunition, only a sentence from Wang Zanbin, the commander of the 174th Division: "Defend the river bridge!" Those who trespass are engaged in military law! ”

Liu Ming, the deputy of the supplementary regiment, is now very decadent and desperate, originally thought that he would be able to soar if he was promoted to the deputy of the regiment, but now he is confined to the small cage of Jiangqiao, and his future is not simple, and the frustration in his heart can be imagined.

Although he was extremely depressed in his heart, Liu Ming was still unwilling to let his good future be wiped out in the fire, and he still had to struggle to fight for a way to live for himself.

He convened a meeting of company and platoon commanders, and only five people attended the meeting, three company commanders, two platoon commanders, and the rest had already died in the fierce battle last night.

There was only one topic of the meeting, that is, how to defend the river bridge, which was also related to the fate of all of them, so everyone spoke enthusiastically.

"We should concentrate our forces together and fight to the death with the devils!" Li Tiezhu, the commander of the third company, is always so hot-blooded and strong, and dares to fight with devils.

The commander of the fourth company or Wu Jiang advocated relying on the buildings of the river bridge to resist steadily, and he could hold on for as long as he could.

Yang Ling agreed with Wu Jiang's opinion, but added a clause: "It is okay for us to rely on the buildings in the town to fight street battles, but we cannot defend street by street, house by house, and we should divide our troops into several assault groups and rely on the complex terrain of the town to fight guerrilla warfare against devils."

"Guerrilla warfare?"

"Yes, each assault group relies on buildings to swim to fight, and when they encounter a small group of devils, they work together to eliminate them, and when they encounter a large group of devils, they scatter and delay them, throw grenades, and harass them with cold guns......

Although the supplementary regiment has captured some equipment from the devils, it has to be weak in firepower in general, and if it learns from Li Tiezhu to fight a positional battle with the devils, it will have to hit his head and bleed.

However, if they are scattered and rely on the town to fight guerrilla warfare and street warfare, the firepower advantage of the devil soldiers in this street and alley will be limited, and the soldiers of the supplementary regiment will be more able to protect themselves, anyway, they will hide if they can't fight, there are ruins and broken walls everywhere, and it is not so easy for the devils to chase down, as long as the various assault groups are well coordinated, they may be able to inflict great damage on the devils.

Yang Ling had already established some prestige in the supplementary regiment after leading the advance detachment to eliminate the devils last night, and his suggestion was immediately supported by most of the people, and now only Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, was left to nod.

Liu Ming was also considering the feasibility of guerrilla warfare, they were used to fighting in large regiments, and they were used to confronting the enemy head-on, and now Yang Ling suddenly proposed such a way of fighting, he was thinking about it.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to believe Yang Ling once, he was ready to gamble and press the treasure on Yang Ling's body, if the time really couldn't be kept, they should be unlucky.

After the general phalanx of the defense was determined, the survivors of the supplementary regiment took action, divided into several guerrilla groups and dispersed among the dilapidated buildings of the town.

The town is a typical Hui style building, with a high-walled compound, which has been bombed by the planes of the devil soldiers, and bombarded by mortar artillery, and there are many ruins and broken walls, which has become more complicated, which provides the soil for the survival of Yang Ling's guerrilla street warfare.

Yang Ling, Lao Wangtou and the other five soldiers were a guerrilla group, nesting in a side house in a landlord's compound, and the house was blown up with a big hole, and the bright light spilled in through the big hole to make the house not so dark.

The window on the left side of the house had been smashed into a hole by Yang Ling with the butt of his gun, and he leaned against the wall under the window and pressed bullets into the chamber of the gun.

Now almost all the men of the supplementary regiment have a 38 big cover rifle, not that they like the 38 rifle much, but compared with the various broken guns in their original hands, the 38 rifle is easy to use, accurate to hit, and the most important thing is that there are enough bullets.

The advance detachment of devils they annihilated last night, almost every devil carried more than 100 rounds of ammunition, several melon grenades, and a lot of machine gun grenadiers, and they were rarely rich now.

Lao Wang's head and arm were injured and he couldn't shoot, Yang Ling wanted him to move to the rear with the other wounded, but he couldn't leave, so he had to let him be an ammunition transporter, carrying a large number of bullets and grenades.

Not long after Yang Ling and the others nested in the house, the noise of the devil's chariot engine came from outside the town, and a small soldier rushed into the house where Yang Ling and them were hiding: "Company commander, the devils are here, there are hundreds!"

The old king was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ran out of the house, climbed up the bamboo ladder to the roof, and looked around, my obedient, a large number of devil soldiers in the east of the town, and several devil chariots.

"Company commander, I'm afraid we're in trouble." Seeing such a devil and a chariot, the old king was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and he couldn't help but tremble his legs and stomach at this moment.

Last night, dozens of people from an advance detachment of devils beat him to the point that he almost had no power to fight back, and now there are so many devil soldiers, and suddenly his heart is shrouded in a layer of haze.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, afraid of a fart, follow the company commander, the devil will fight one by one, and two will fight a pair!" However, some people are full of confidence in Yang Ling.

Yang Ling also climbed the bamboo ladder, and had a rough estimate of the devil's strength, five tanks, about two squadrons of devils, and two mules and horses pulled by the 92-type infantry guns, and a lot of grenadier mortars, it seems that the devil is bound to win the river bridge.
